This is just not true voting third party or not voting means you are voting third party or not voting. This reasoning is senseless so if I vote Lu Cruz I'm helping Trump, Harris, Stein, etc.. all win no I'm not. No reason to vote for a candidate who will run fascistic policies which Trump and Harris both will. Electoralism is a dead end in broken system built to maintain the status quo.

Abstentionism isn't praxis. It's a losing strategy given the current state of politics; even a cursory examination reveals this to be true.

If your politics incorporates electoralism you have already failed.

This is all true, except in a bubble where you use first past the post voting.

You're talking about sane elections. Americans live in a edge case:

I sure wish more of these people that are all hung up on an issue would vote in the primaries. You know, where you have at least a slim chance of changing things.
